Songs that mention Pittsburgh

I don't know about you, but I get kind of excited when I hear any mention of Pittsburgh in a song, so I thought it would be fun to try and compile a sort of master list with the people who oughtta know best.

So, here are the few I can think of off hand...

Guy Mitchell - Pittsburgh Pennsylvania --- This one is especially fun because it's the song Malvina Reynolds nabbed the tune for "Little Boxes" from. If you're a "Weeds" fan, you'll appreciate this.

The Outcasts - I'm In Pittsburgh (And It's Raining) --- I've only heard The Cynics version of this song, but this was apparently a big hit for The Outcasts. Wikipedia said "The opening lyrics – I'm in Pittsburgh and it's rainin' / I'm sittin' in the subway here complainin' – combine a near non sequitur with an error of fact (Pittsburgh doesn't have a subway system – which cooled off the initial rush of record sales in that city after listeners began to notice)." --- While this may have been true at the time of release, Pittsburgh has had the T-station (or Light Rail) since the late 80's, making this song once again relevant.

There's I'm In Pittsburgh (And It's Raining) by the Vibes. Brilliant track, but written by an English band who may never have actually visited Pittsburgh. It mentions a subway years before the T went underground. I love it anyway.

Great posts, guys! There seems to be a few running themes here - traveling songs (especially from a musician's perspective), songs where the singer yells out "Pittsburgh," and Irish music? Interesting. Well, here's another to add to the former category.
